Hi @jennihan!

Based on the fact that you are using the remote backend with a hostname other than app.terraform.io, we're assuming you're a Terraform Enterprise customer. If so, we'd recommend contacting the Terraform Enterprise support team about this, as they can provide more tailored advice due to having more context about how your Terraform Enterprise deployment is configured.

@jennihan was the issue has been resolved?

I get this at random times also, I don't know if it is a coincidence, but I seem to get it more after an aborted terraform, when I have to manually release the lock... First time it fails with the above and succeeds there-on.

I am getting this a lot recently, seems like a very short timeout is set on this request. Right now in Singapore it's failing for me on ~50% of import, plan or apply commands, seemingly at random.

I'm good if I don't use -parallelism.

@alen-z can you please also note what terraform version you're using?

Having the same problem lately. So annoying. My continuous integration is blocked.

I started having this today.
Poland, Germany (VPN), USA (VPN), second network... all fails.

[skolsuper]

What's annoying about this issue is that it will probably never affect anyone with commit access.

[jacoor]

In my case, it occurred to be some weird issue with aws-vault and credentials.
I used aws-vault with --no-session parameter and it started to fail. After opening the new terminal window problem disappeared.

Make sure you go through both system & login certificates
